The Duke and Duchess of Sussex got married on May 19, 2018

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry avoided issuing a statement to mark a major milestone this weekend, with the entire Royal Family keeping silent.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary over the weekend, but there was no sign of public acknowledgment from the couple.


No members of the Royal Family publicly acknowledged the occasion, either.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot on May 19 2018 in a grand ceremony in Windsor, followed by an exclusive evening reception.

However, any celebrations this year have seemingly been kept under wraps, with no social media tributes from the couple.

The Royal Family also refrained from publicly marking the occasion.

The Sussexes, who stepped back from Royal duties in 2020, were overlooked by Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, as well as other members of the Royal Family.

King Charles and Prince William opted against publicly sharing any memories or tributes from the event six years ago.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's extravagant royal wedding took place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, with a reception hosted by then-Prince Charles at Frogmore House.

Although 2,640 guests were invited to Windsor Castle, only 200 were granted special access to the evening reception.

Meghan looked beautiful in a white Givenchy wedding dress, which she accessorised with Queen Mary's Bandeau Tiara.

The diadem had not been seen since 1951 when Queen Mary wore it to The Lavender Hill Mob film premiere.

The duchess tied her hair into a low messy bun, showing off her white gold and diamond Cartier earrings.

She also wore the Reflection de Cartier bracelet on her wedding day, which still retails for a whopping £343,000.

Meghan's royal wedding shoes were based on a Givenchy refined pointed couture design made of white silk duchess satin.
